DA Sideblog | 21 | He/They | Resident Vivienne Enjoyer

Intro Post! (Updated 11/9/24)

hey! since i just got a massive bump in followers, i figured i'd make a bit of an intro post for this blog! this is my da sideblog, and i like/follow from @blighted-lights, which is mainly for transformers stuff lol.

-i go by any variation of my username as well as the nickname blight, tho you can pretty much call me anything

-i am 21, white, and use he/they pronouns

-this blog will be mostly sfw but may have some posts that aren't, which will be tagged appropriately with #suggestive, #nsft, ect. if there is something specific you'd like tagged then please let me know!

-don't really have a dni. just don't be an asshole, don't be a bigot, terfs fuck off. you will be made fun of and/or blocked.

-this is pretty obvious atp, but this is a vivienne positive blog. start shit about vivienne at your own risk. this is also a sera positive blog. start shit about sera at your own risk.

i may add stuff to this later but for now that's it! my inbox and dms are always open to everyone, and i love yapping so feel free to hmu!

if you'd like to send in an ask under anon, feel free to assign yourself an emoji or word to identity yourself! so if you'd like to add something like –🦚 at the end of your ask to seperate your asks from other anons, feel free! (emojis/words used so far: 🪄, 🐏, ☁️, 🏵)

UPDATE: this blog IS NOT SPOILER FREE FOR DATV! i am playing through the game currently and will be live blogging as i go. post involving spoilers will be tagged with #datv spoilers, and i tag it pretty liberally!

ok Vivienne and kid Inquisitor, but what KIND of kid would it result in, having the benefit of having vivienne? vivienne who KNOWS what it's like but had to do it all by herself, so now she has the chance to either make a copy of herself or a child who didn't have to struggle as much. will the child appear spoiled in h3r eyes if they never had to see or feel the horrors of the world - because she protected them from it? Will she resent herself for that, or will she hate it even more if her guidance turns the kid into something ruthless - something that will make her think "am i like this? is this what i am?"

i think vivienne taking responsibility over a kid inquisitor leads to so many different fascinating possibilities of how that dynamic could play out and how vivienne reflects her own personal experiences onto them, but honestly i don't think she'd consider them to be spoiled. i don't think she'd try to keep the reality of the situation from them at all! there is just no way for vivienne to completely shelter them from violence, from scrunity, from injury, from the act of killing, from leadership– imho there just isn't space for it. this is their reality now. if she attempted to shelter them from it and left them ignorant of the true danger they are in, she's hurting them, not helping. there would definitely be others in the inquisiton who believe otherwise i think, but to vivienne? ignorance is danger. and it is not a danger she would leave them vulnerable to.

on the other hand, i think it's fully possible for a kid under vivienne's guidence to become just as ruthless as she herself is. especially if that kid ends up seeing vivienne as being a primary mentor, of sorts. considering vivienne's own ruthlessness comes from a place of survival, i don't think she'd even see it as a bad thing. this is a child forced into completely unfair circumstances and is facing violence daily. they've been shoved into a limelight they were completely unprepared for. hundreds of people call for the death of the herald, the heretic, the thief of the anchor. vivienne imo would think it's good that they are ruthless. they need that fierceness. they need to be ready. if it kept her alive, then it will keep them alive, too.

anyways everyone thank @vigilskeep for giving me viv and kid inquisitor brainworms <3 and thank u nonnie for the ask!

wanna let you know you have inspired me to try and playthrough DAO again and spare Loghain, I have always killed him or have him kill the archdemon and die so my warden can keep living, but your posts about him (even if I don't think I'll ever really be a fan of his character, but even so sometimes I think it's a good thing to learn and hear about a character from a fan to give me a better look at them and get me to look at them differently) has really given me thoughts about seeing what it's like if he lives through the whole game!

PS. love hearing about all your characters, always a joy to read ❤️

i'm a bit late to answering this but i hope you have fun with your new playthrough!! i get loghain not being a character that everyone vibes with (especially when recruiting him comes at the cost of alistair,,), but it's sooo fun to me to drag him around different plots and such after origins, i really recommend it. he's one of my favorites from origins despite how briefly we have him as a companion, and it's super fun to know i've convinced you to give him another try!! you should totally keep me updated if you'd like as well, im nosy i wanna know how you're feeling about him this time around 👀

and aaaa thank you 🫶!!!!
